DIY Flower Heart



Hello, I will be showing how I made a flower heart. I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I hope someone finds it useful.


Materials:
  • Fake flowers from any dollar store
  • A metal clothes hanger
  • A hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon


First, unbend the hanger, then bend it into a heart shape. It doesn't have to be perfect. (The shape won't show through the flowers once they're glued)
Next, take the flowers off the stems 

(This photo does not belong to me, credit has been given)

Once you take the flowers off the stems, you can begin gluing

Then you can add a ribbon or if not, you are done 

Notes:
  • The flowers didn't stick on well with just applying glue to the bottom of the flower. I added a bit of glue to the back of the hanger as well.
  • If you have gaps and the metal wire shows through, I cut off leaves from the stems and glued them around the flowers to fill the spaces.


ELF Makeup Mist & Set

Hello! On Sunday, I went to Target and saw this setting spray by E.L.F. and I've always wanted the MAC Fix+, but I rarely wear heavy make up and I rarely need my make up to last long, so I don't see it as a must have for $21. The ELF one was only $3 which is pretty cheap for its quality and it's worth it for something I probably won't use often.
Now, I have never used Fix+ or any setting spray but this stuff works! It is now 10pm and my make up has not budged. Usually my eyeliner transfers onto my crease and my wing smudges, or my eyebrows smudge off a bit, but everything has stayed in place. 

Pictured below are the products I used and the shade of NYX lipstick as well as the Eyebrow Cake Power

I forgot to shoot my face products but I will list them:
Victoria Jackson Terra Glow Bronzer
Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer in the shade 1W Light (Warm)
Sheer Cover Mineral Foundation in the shade Buff
Neutrogena Liquid foundation in the shade Natural Beige 


What do you think about this ELF setting spray? Has anyone else tried it? I would love some feedback.
Thank you for reading

First Month of College. . .


Long time no speak, I know. College has been keeping me busy! I am taking four classes (13 credits) and training for a job that I will be starting soon. I'm already tired by going to school only, I can only imagine how tired I'm going to be when I start working as well! I really need a job though. I'm not used to spending this much money, and I feel so bad asking my parents for $50+ every week. It's not an extreme amount of money but compared to high school, $10 would last me a whole week because I had a free metrocard and free meals at school. Now in college, I spend $25 on transportation and $20+ on food. Sometimes I try to make something at home to save money but my schedule doesn't always permit me.

On the bright side, I really love the college environment. I've always been a loner so I like that everyone keeps to themselves at school. It's really hard to make friends, but I don't mind at all. I like to sit by myself with my headphones on. I've had a bad experience with friends coming and going, and I've always done just fine on my own.

The school work isn't bad at all either. I don't get homework from many classes except for my English class. On my first college exam for my Psychology class, I scored an 85 (I thought that was pretty good). Some of the professors are really hard to understand. They speak to you in complicated terms and sometimes I have a complete brain fart and don't understand ANYTHIING.

I'm really looking forward to the rest of my academic career. I've gotten through 12 years of school already and 4 more wouldn't hurt. Today makes exactly one month since I've started college and I think I've done pretty well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a couple of make-up blog posts pending. I haven't had the chance to upload the photos to my computer. Stay tuned for make up of the day/face of the day posts and more. I will try to update as soon as I can.
Thanks for reading! xo

Estēe Lauder

Today I received these two Estēe Lauder products in the mail that I had ordered. Firstly, I LOVE THE PACKAGING!! It's beautiful haha. But otherwise, I loved the quality of the shadows. 
These trio palettes for smokey eye makeup are perfect for people who don't have much experience with makeup, as it labels placement for the shadows. If you are more on the "experienced" side of the beauty world, this eye shadow trio is still a great product. 
The one I purchased is the Smoked Chrome trio.
Coming from a person who isn't very much into eye shadows, I liked that the color is sheer. If you do like opaque eye shadow looks, there is good color pay off once you layer and pack the eye shadow on. 

My favorite shadow from the palette is the middle one because it was the most opaque of the three colors. Also, it's very versatile as you can use it along with the other colors in the trio for the smokey eye look. I personally would probably use it as a full lid color along with winged eyeliner. 



I also ordered a concealer which according to the website is their highest coverage concealer. I get really dark marks from pimples and most concealers only make the marks lighter, they don't actually cover my marks. I decided to splurge a little on a "high-end" product which costs $23. 

I haven't actually used it on my face, I just swatched it on the back of my hand quickly. Although I'm not sure of the coverage yet, one thing I did love was its silky consistency. It was really smooth and buttery which I like in concealers.

The Eighth

So today I found my Nikon Coolpix camera which I haven't used in a while and I decided to shoot some quick pictures.



I sometimes forget that this camera takes good quality photos haha. I haven't shot any photos in a while and I'll probably start up again soon. Since I haven't been in school, all I've been doing is moping around the house, but now, I definitely have some motivation.

Thank You ♡

I was checking out my stats and I really cannot believe that I have gotten 67 views on my blog in a month. It might seem like only a little to some people but I was not expecting to have this many views on my blog. I didn't think my posts were interesting haha. Now I am motivated to actually make some good posts. If anyone is a constant viewer, let me know what kind of posts you'd like to see. I'm pretty much open to anything. I was thinking photo diary posts or makeup reviews or even music reviews. I don't know help me out! I'll definitely try to do photo diaries though.
Anyway, thank you so much, see you soon.
